Thanks, it seems i'm finally getting messages from the list again ...

Indeed i was still using the old binaries (in /usr/local/bin),

But i was also blocking a backup MX from sending mail to /me ;(

I started reading this list somewhere in 2007, and did not fillow it god 
enough for the last two years, but time has come to investigate how i 
can upgrade my stuff (linux/postfix/dovecot) and all the other stuff 
that's doing something on that pieve of hardware, without breaking more 
that i did with my mail from this list.
